Xinghai had just returned to the rear army, which had completely collapsed, either fleeing after him or simply surrendering on the spot. The reason why the front army was like this was, firstly, that it lost its organization after the shelling; The second is that the raw Jurchens who rushed out of the dense forest on the right bank are too barbaric.

These soldiers with blue flags who have been stationed in Ningguta for a long time are not only sturdy in size, but also most of them are more than 170 centimeters. If it is placed in the pass, it can be said that all of them are big men, and the pro-soldier seeds around the general, ordinary Ming soldiers are afraid of three points when they see it.

But compared to the raw Jurchens who ambushed them, that is, the Chukotka mercenaries led by Churkko, it was also the feeling of adults facing a giant bear. The Chukchi also wore double or triple armor, a bearskin coat over cotton armor, and held not knives and guns, but huge steel forks or large logging axes.

They had at least forty or fifty pounds of equipment on them, but these Chukchi people were still agile like wild boars. What made these Eight Banners soldiers collapse even more was that the seemingly chaotic charge of the Chukchi people still had an incomprehensible offensive coordination.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners who had not assembled in formation were like stakes in front of these Chukchi people, and no one dared to stand in front of these beast-like Chukchi people in just a few dozen breaths.

The first Chulko, who took the lead in rushing into the camp in front of the blue flag, had just been released to three people, and the battle was already nearing its end. The companions around him were still complaining: "These people are too weak, not to mention whales, they can't even compare to seals." Having defeated such a cowardly opponent, will the general really pay us so much? ”

Chulko grinned and said: "Don't worry, aren't there so many prey behind you, as long as you defeat them, the general will never fall on the bill." ”

Zhao Chengdong, who was standing on the rocky embankment on the left bank and watching the battle, was also a little stunned, the previous battles of the Chukchi people were all in the military formation, so in addition to being brave, he was not surprised much.

But in this ambush battle, the performance of the unfettered Chukotka finally compared with the militia of local origin. Before the ambush of Wubik and Gino caught up, the Chukotka people independently killed the front army of the Eight Banners Army.

To say that those militias from local origins are not bad in terms of physical fitness and bravery. At least in the eyes of the Ming army, these people are no different from the Jurchen warriors, and even surpass them.

At least among the Jurchens, those who can hunt big bears alone can basically be warriors. But in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang and the Beishan Jurchen tribes, those who fight with the big bears with their bare hands and can still be captured alive are the warriors in the tribe.

As for these Chukchi people, although the Ming army led by Zhao Chengdong had never been in contact with them before, but looking at their disapproving attitude towards the bear-fighting warriors, Zhao Chengdong had taken a few glances before, and the equipment given to them was also preferentially equipped.

However, after watching today's battle, Zhao Chengdong felt that he still seemed to underestimate the combat potential of these Chukchi people. He thought with regret that he should have known that he should have transferred all 300 Chukchi to ambush this reinforcement.

Zhao Chengdong wanted to think about it, but he didn't waste time, he ordered Wu Bike's troops to cross the battlefield and line up in the rear of the Eight Banners Army to prevent them from counterattacking or fleeing. He continued to pursue from the towering rocky shore on the left with Gino and two cannons. He decided to take advantage of the dilemma of the Eight Banners Army and defeat them in one go.

Xinghai, who had fled back to the rear army, was very desperate, he originally thought that as long as the front army and the ambushed Shengnuzhen people were in a scuffle, those artillery would be useless.

At this time, he still didn't know where it was, what kind of Jurchen army it was, but the Ming army that had defeated Anguli last year. I have long heard that a Ming army occupied the temple street in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River from the sea, but I didn't expect that these Ming soldiers who were bold enough to run to the city of the three surnames.

However, even if the Ming army carried artillery, Xinghai did not think that they could easily defeat their own men in hand-to-hand combat. As long as he is given a little time, even if he can't repel these Ming troops, he can still rescue some of the subordinates of the former army, after all, many people in the former army are his relatives.

However, who would have thought that before he had time to organize the subordinates of the rear army, the front army had already collapsed. Is this still the Aili Liaozi he remembers? Although those Aili Liaozi had good skills, they had never been able to defeat the Jurchen army in battles of tens or hundreds of people.

And the unit in front of him completely shattered Xinghai's memory, and he felt that only the most outstanding white-armored guards in the Eight Banners could fight such a feat. He always felt like it was a nightmare, not a real reality.

However, the guards beside him woke him up and said, "My lord, should we put out the fire in the camp?" Otherwise, when the opponent's artillery turns around and shoots at our array, the rear army will not be able to hold it. ”

Xinghai suddenly came to his senses, nodded again and again and said, "It's gone, it's gone." Then put the climbing plough up in front of you, and choose another forty or fifty good horses to come out. When attacking from the other side, we will charge from the flanks with cavalry, and as long as we disrupt them, we will all press them down. Tell the big guy that it's time to work hard, and if you don't work hard, you'll die..."

Although the collapse of the former army made Xinghai in a trance for a moment, the experience of long-term combat still made him make the most appropriate decision.

Although the Wubik division has 167 people, which is similar to the number of the Eight Banners rear army on the opposite side, it is far less crazy than those Chukchi people in terms of will to fight. Although the equipment on their bodies was also replaced by the Ming army with equipment that was not inferior to that of the Jurchens, the fear of being conquered by the Jurchens in the past had not been removed from them.

Therefore, in the face-to-face formation attack, these Heilongjiang indigenous warriors could not help but be a little constrained, which made the rear army of the Eight Banners rely on the cover of erecting a climbing plow to hold the defensive line.

And after the Eight Banners Army extinguished the fire, Wu Bike's department became a backlit battle. Relying on the fire that was still burning in the former military camp, the Jurchens clearly saw the movements of these raw Jurchens in front of them, and slowly pressed them back.

After noticing that the positions of these Jurchens in front of him were wavering, Xinghai immediately asked the prepared 34 cavalry to attack from the left flank of his own front and flank Wu Bik's troops, trying to crush the current enemy.

The right flank of Wubik's division was immediately disrupted by this cavalry that suddenly rushed out, but just as Xinghai organized men to follow the cavalry and assault, preparing to expand the results of the battle. The Chukchi people, who were blocked by Wubik's troops and could not attack, rushed up happily when they saw this scene.

These Chukchi men fearlessly rushed towards the Houjin cavalry, although these Houjin cavalry slowed down a little, but it was not a person standing on the ice and snow who could easily resist the impact.

The dozen or so Chukchi who rushed forward first were quickly knocked to the ground, but they also managed to stop the cavalry from gaining speed. And after them, more Chukchi people continued to rush forward without fear.

The Chukotka warriors, armed with large axes and harpoons, quickly put down the twenty or thirty cavalrymen, and the last few horsemen of the cavalry team finally turned around and fled in fright. These fleeing cavalry just happened to run into the sortie of Xinghai, and instead opened the way for the Chukchi people.

At this time, Zhao Chengdong also rushed to the flank of the Eight Banners Rear Army, and while ordering the soldiers to throw the lighted wood down the river, he ordered the musketeers to shoot from above.

The burning wood that Zhao Chengdong ordered people to drop finally changed the unfavorable vision of his own troops. And the bravery of the Chukchi people, coupled with the constant shooting on the left shore, finally made the defense line of the Eight Banners rear army also collapse.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, in order to save the remaining members of his family, Xinghai had to shout to the commander of the Ming army to surrender.

Zhao Chengdong gladly accepted the surrender of the other party, and learned the origin of this reinforcement from Xinghaikou. Hearing that reinforcements would come later, Zhao Chengdong once again strengthened his mind to retreat.

In this battle, nearly 200 Ningguta reinforcements were killed and wounded, 87 surrendered, and more than a dozen fled the battlefield on foot. However, with the current temperature, it is estimated that the escapees will not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

After dawn, the officers and soldiers of the three surnamed cities looked at the corpses of Ningguta reinforcements and the captured Xinghai and others placed under the city, although their faces were pale, they still refused Zhao Chengdong's request to open the door and surrender.

After noon, Zhao Chengdong finally ordered the evacuation and returned to Wallenberg. On this expedition, his losses were not small, 300 people lost their combat effectiveness. However, only 150 of them were killed or wounded on the battlefield, and the other 150 were incapacitated due to illness.

Although the troops outside the city withdrew, the guards in the city still refused to send people out to collect the corpses, lest this be the other party's plan. It wasn't until the next morning, when the corpses placed outside the city had been frozen, that he dared to send someone out to collect the corpses.

This is the first time since Nurhachi raised his army that the Jurchens have shown such cowardice in front of foreign enemies. It was also the first time that the Ming army took the initiative to attack and the Jin territory was victorious, although most of the natives from the Outer Northeast were used.

This expedition of the Ming army in Miaojie brought a great shock to the various tribes near the city of the three surnames, and made these tribes realize once again that in the vast northeast land, there is no longer only Houjin, a tiger, in the future. Those Akito, who came from the sea detour, were also tigers who could eat people.

As for the various tribes in the middle and upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River up to the Baikal region, they alienated themselves from the Houjin and began to show more friendship to the Ming people in Wallenberg. They needed salt, cloth, iron, spirits, muskets,* and even grain from the Ming.

After the Battle of the Three Cities, the tribes near Lake Baikal preferred to be protected by the Ming, as Russian bandits from the west had already appeared near them. These Russian colonists came here in pursuit of furs, gold and silver, and to enslave the indigenous people of this land.

Homemade bows and arrows in the hands of the indigenous tribes were apparently beyond the reach of these professional robbers with Pishaw arquebuses and Badish axes.

Of course, what these tribes and the Ming people in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River did not know was that the Russians had already begun to explore the Lena River valley from the Ob River and the Yenisei River basin, and when they completed the exploration of the Lena River valley, it was equivalent to mastering the water communication artery to the whole of Siberia.
